331. Prayer

50 Days, once a day. (See Instructions, p. 1.) T NICHOLAS, my special protector, from that bright throne where thou dost enjoy the vision of thy Gop, in pity turn thine eyes upon me; obtain for me from Gop that grace and assistance of which, in my present necessities, spiritual and temporal, I am most in want, and especially the grace of N—, if such be expedient for my eternal welfare. Remem- ber, moreover, O glorious and holy Bishop, our So- vereign Pontiff, the Holy Church, and this City of Rome. Bring back to the right way of salvation those who live steeped in sin or buried in the dark- ness of ignorance, error, and heresy. Comfort the sorrowing, provide for the needy, strengthen the weak-hearted, defend the oppressed, help the sick; 331 Gregory XVI, December 22, 1832. VARIOUS SAINTS 301 let all experience the effects of thy powerful inter- cession with Him who is Supreme Giver of all good. Amen
